~Kicha~'s photostream
|
*Formerly known as Omega418*
The goal of this photo stream is simply to educate. To entice others to want to do their own research. To introduce a group of people, places and events that many have never heard of or know very little about.
Emotions can run high --- however, I will not put up with racist, ignorant, or asinine remarks from anyone, period. I have no power in the outside world but since this is my stream I have the right to delete and block anyone I find offensive. No matter the persons sex/race/age etc.,
With the multitude of comments I have been receiving its very hard for me to monitor all of them. Therefore, occasional ignorance seeps through. But when I find it I will block and delete.
I love debate. There have been really good debates going on that doesn't stoop to ignorant levels, I applaud that.
However you arrived here please take the time to look around and not stop at one photo or story. Explore.
*Anyone with pornographic images in their stream do not add me as a contact or favor any of my images. If you do I will block you.*

RockN says:
"Kicha's collection of vintage photographs provides an often moving and always thought-provoking picture of American history, primarily focusing on the black experience. These photographs sometimes amuse, sometimes educate and sometimes sadden us. We may not always like what we see but it is a part of who we have been and who we are and it is necessary that we face our history and not forget those who have suffered and those who have struggled. Thank you Kicha and keep up the good work."

Photography By Atiya says:
"One of the most elaborate and exquisite collections of vintage photographs detailing the lives of colored people I have ever seen. This is truly a collection to be both proud of and enjoy. I am so proud of Kicha for collecting the photos, newspapers, and magazines that she has and showing them to the world.
These images of Black people are images that will not be televised or publicized in mainstream because they depict a completely different view of Black people that Eurosupremacist society doesn't want us to know existed and still exists t some degree. Kischa has a great appreciation of her history and her ancestors.... Keep the knowledge flowing girl!!!
Love, Peace, & Blessings... One

"Everytime I sign on, I can't wait to see the new items in your stream. To think that a non photographer has such a compelling instinct as to what is visually pleasing or significant!! I know scanning these book is a lot of hard work, and I thank you for your contribution to making flickr relevant."

"The idea of gathering all the photos and information is an creative endeavor.
I'm not a photographer... I just like to take pictures and its a new found hobby for me...
I have viewed your streams and comments.
and we all think that what you are doing is awesome .
.
I have spent hours looking at each photo picking out details...
and allowing my imagination to run wild,
as I peek into the past
Even used a few lunch hours viewing your streams...
Your are a photographer's dream...
You keep their work alive after they have long passed on.."16th March, 2008

"this site is addictive and im its latest junkie..every time you think u have seen it all you discover something new, it is not only a visual treat its a history lesson full of highs in the photography and views of a time lost and in the lows in that a race of people were and still are treated in such an unfair way..but its a triumph of the human spirit to overcome all obstacles placed before it..we should all be grateful for the work and love placed in this unique collection."
